Cool, always good to meet other people that like the KJ.

My best complement was when I was leaving a sporting goods store. I was parked next to a Subaru Outback I believe. It was a couple; the guy keeps looking at the Liberty while I’m putting something in the cargo area. He asked me what year it is. I told him it was a 2002 he looked surprised and proceeds to ask “Ever take if off road?” I say off course. He says “very nicely kept, I see you also got a lift on it”. He calls his wife over and tells her you see we could have gotten a Liberty and still had plenty of room for the baby. We chatted a bit more; I will say the guy was really pleased with the Liberty.

Best comment I got was I was on a solo trail ride. We got out to clear some deadfall off the trail. About 200m up the trail we came across a couple guys stopped for lunch going the other way (towards us) who had a toyota hilux surf (Japanese 4Runner) and a YJ on 33's. We chatted it up for a couple minutes and went back to our KJ. On the way by the one guy is like:

"You did that part of the trail in a stock liberty?! Holy Smokes! Thats quite the 4x4!"

I smiled and shouted back

"Its trail rated."

Laughed and went our seperate ways.

Most comments are that it looks fun. And in reality, its awesome to drive. I wish it were more lift friendly.

I get lots of attention when I pull up to the Diesel pump. People usually warn me that I'm putting diesel in it. I just smile and nod.

We don't have a lot of offroaders in flat land, but the diesel pickup guys always ask how much it tows and how it handles off road.

Sometimes I ask random onlookers "where's the shopping mall?" on the trails

To me it seems that the aesthetic compliments come easy for the Liberty but ones for the off road capability usually have come after they see what we can do!

Yep. Of course, I also get the random, "you ain't too worried about yer paint, are ya?" comments after they see me wheel at our local ORV park.

Luckily, the only parts I rub are plastic so I don't need to worry about rust.

I was crawling along one of my regular trails this spring and I came to a washout that was quite deep but not too wide. A guy in a Dakota 4x4 was stopped there, preparing to turn around. I asked him to let me through, and he backed out and watched me with a very skeptical look on his face. I just angled a good line and crawled through. The look on his face in the mirror as I drove away on the other side was priceless! He didn't say a word, but he gave me the best compliment... :lol:

YES!!!
